http://billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_di...t_id=1002841081 July 18, 2006, 2:15 PM ET Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. Rare concerts from jazz legends Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, Art Blakey, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, Buddy Rich and Louis Armstrong will be released for the first time on DVD Sept. 26 via Reeling in the Years Productions and TDK Recording Media Europe S.A. The shows were filmed in Europe between 1957-1978 both in TV studios and traditional concert venues, and in many cases, have never been broadcast, even in excerpts. They are being issued under the heading "Jazz Icons," with distribution by Naxos of America. Among the highlights of the first batch of titles are a 1958 show with Blakey and a lineup of his Jazz Messengers that only played together for six months, Fitzgerald concerts from 1957 in Belgium and 1963 in Sweden, Monk shows in Norway and Denmark from 1966 and two Jones concerts from 1960, featuring an 18-piece band. Baker is featured in a 1964 performance for Belgian television and a 1979 performance in Norway, while the 1959 Armstrong show is one of his only known complete filmed performances from this era. "From an educational standpoint this series is a gift to our culture," Jones says. "I'm honored to be a featured part of it, but I'm more thrilled just to sit down and watch it with my grandkids."

Holy crap. I just saw him perform w/ Billy Harper back on May 12th. He looked fine. I'm shocked.

I've heard(have somewhere?) a cd of Pig's demos from 1971(?). IIRC, it's just him on piano or acoustic guitar. Supposedly it was recorded in his apartment. Is this the same thing you're thinking of?

Hands down my all time favorite version of China>Rider. Not to be missed. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200 w/ out hearing this first.

Would have turned 70 today.

Those shows never did anything for me. I think they were still trying to figure out how to integrate Mickey back into the band and the music suffers as a result. I'm not a big fan of '76 in general, though I do think they started to turn it up a notch in October.

Right on. That said, out of the choices listed by Newk I would try (in order of preference) DP19, RTR, DP23, Dead Set, NOD, WAN.

A Resurrection, of Sorts, for the Grateful Dead By ALAN LIGHT Published: July 10, 2006 The Grateful Dead, one of rock 'n' roll's longest-lasting institutions, has announced a licensing agreement with Rhino Entertainment to manage exclusively all of the band's intellectual property. Rhino, a subsidiary of the Warner Music Group that is best known as a premier reissue label, will oversee everything from the band's vast archive of live recordings and its Web site to its merchandise and use of its likeness. Grateful Dead Productions will retain creative control, and the deal does not include the band's music publishing. "In the last couple of years, it became apparent that the business was just too much trouble," said Bob Weir, a guitarist and vocalist for the band. "The Grateful Dead of yore was built around being a touring band, and when we stopped touring, the structure wasn't there." The deal also reflects a shift in the music industry as labels look beyond declining CD sales for new sources of revenue. The Rhino-Dead arrangement is similar to a multiple-rights venture that the band Korn signed last year with EMI Music. The deal makes EMI a partner in the band's overall business, including its publishing, touring, merchandising and multimedia activities. "The music industry has to change," said Jimmy Edwards, a vice president at Rhino. "We can't just put CD's out to retail. We need to be more involved with protecting the legacy of the artists." What's more unusual in this deal is that the Grateful Dead officially disbanded after the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995. The surviving members toured under the name the Other Ones in 2002, and then as the Dead in 2003 and 2004. Mostly, though, the band has lived on through various official releases of their concerts. Rhino has overseen the band's catalog in recent years, including two box sets that collected expanded versions of all of its studio albums. The label approached the band with the idea for the licensing deal. "The Dead all started individual endeavors," said Mr. Edwards of Rhino, "and they needed a partner to provide infrastructure." Rhino seemed the right partner for the band. The drummer, Mickey Hart, noted that the Grateful Dead started its recording career with Warner Brothers in 1966, and remained on the label through the mid-1970's. "It's kind of funny," he said. "We tortured them so much in the early days, so maybe now we're making up for it." Last year, the Grateful Dead came under fire from its passionate fan base when the band took down the free recordings of its concerts posted at archive.org and announced plans to charge for downloading the music. Deadheads petitioned in protest, and the files were made available again. "That was a perfect example of why we got a bellyful of being a record label," said Mr. Weir. "It's always been too expensive, too labor-intensive, to digitize our vaults, and maybe that's possible now." Mr. Hart said that his hope was that the arrangement would free the band to make music together. "To us, the Grateful Dead was always about the music, not just going to board meetings. The business got so big, and that's not what we signed up for. "When we don't have to do business together, maybe we can become friends again. Maybe we can even play together again."

For now. He'll be a FA when he turns 27. I would think that, if his agent is smart, he'll have an "opt out" clause written into his contract. Well, well, well..... It looks like LeBron has a smart agent after all. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2514918

Article on Vince Welnick's demise.... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...DDG12JM4F61.DTL

The show has been in circulation for a few years. I got my copy 4 or 5 years ago. You can listen to 9.3.67 here.... http://www.archive.org/details/gd67-09-03....7272.sbeok.shnf That is all of that show (supposedly) that exists. The song has been booted for years. They played for a tiny crowd and figured they'd have fun, and fun they had. I should probably check, but is that Viola Lee Blues from Chicago 1969? If so, it continued past the "end" with feedback over which Owsley played a tape of "What's Become of the Baby." This was the only time they did that. I can imagine the acid drenched crowd digging that--though I never did. People pan the Phil Zone disc as being disjointed--they want whole shows, not just a sampler. But, as samplers go, it's pretty damn good.

Ditto.
